I forgot to mention, there are 200 of these "parcels" and I have already shared individual PDFs that have been provided as paper maps, showing the labeled corners, as well as large scale PDFs and maps showing the entire group. I am just not sure about what is considered a best practice in terms of providing digital files for this type of data. Thanks all! I have gotten some good feedback, thanks for the input!

Hi all, I need some help from a municipal GIS person familiar with Town Records. I apologize in advance if I am not asking the right question or using the correct terminology. I work on the water and come at my GIS from the environmental side of things, but I am working on a project that involves the creation of legal descriptions for property records, but these would be associated with underwater grounds rather than a land-based property record. Historically these would have been stored in the land records as a legal description of a deed, but are now being transferred and we need a way to share and document the transfer of these grounds. Is there an industry standard in terms of file type that I can use to share this data? I have created shapefiles that document the area as polygons and a point layer for the corners that has fields for the lat and long of each of the corners associated with the grounds. I have exported the attribute tables into an Excel file, that has all of the coordinates for the corners and acreage for the grounds. Of course, I sent these files off and the legal entities cannot open the shapefiles because they do not use GIS, but should I send these as geotiffs or something like that? What format should I convert the geographic info into to document the location of the grounds? Is there an industry standard file type for sharing geographic data associated with land records? Thank you!
